What is the example of effector?
A
muscle
B
gland
C
both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An effector is a part of the body which can respond to a stimulus according to the instructions sent from the nervous system (spinal cord and brain). Example: Glands and muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skin, eye, ear, nose, and tongue are all examples of receptors. Effectors are either muscles or glands. (c) Motor nerve and sensory nerve. Motor neurons are neurons that carry motor impulses from the central nervous system to specific effectors.

Detailed explanation-3: -An effector is a part of the body that creates a response from the brain and receptors throughout the body. Examples of effectors are when a muscle contracts to move the leg, a muscle squeezes saliva from the gland, and a gland secretes a hormone into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of effectors are as follows: (1) allosteric effectors, (2) bacterial effectors, and (3) fungal effectors (e.g. apoplastic effectors and cytoplasmic effectors). In other biological contexts, the term effector is used to describe an organ, a gland, or a muscle that responds to a nerve impulse.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two types of effector organs are the muscles and glands. These are stimulated by nerves in response to the stimuli. The muscles are called motor effectors while the glands are called secretory effectors.
